Don't be powerless in a storm-related outage

Stormy, winter weather increases the chance of local power outages in B.C. Last year, more than 1,700 outages were caused by bad weather across the province.

BC Hydro prepares for storm season year-round and crews can activate storm response plans at a moment’s notice. It is difficult to predict how much damage to the system a storm may cause and how long a power outage will last. Therefore, it's important for customers to be prepared for an outage.
